Thanks, I thought so too. KDE proxy module has been ignore since 4.0, i believe. This is making both Konqueror and rekonq unattractive for me ... i use KDE as my primary desktop at work and nothing really works without proxy!

If there is one thing rekonq (and KDE4 in general) need to give love to is proxy settings.

As of now, only manual proxy settings are reliable (in KDE.) Automatic proxy URL does not work.

For example, even with the latest rekonq, using a proxy, the thumbnails on the new tab do not update. The progress circle goes on turning in all of them. Without proxy, it works fine. - Aug 22 2010

Hi,
Very nice config for bespin. However, I cannot get the title and the menubar to look like in your screenshots.
Running bespin r815 on openSUSE. Does it need a later version of bespin?

That's great. However, blank city is no better than an incorrect default (except in Johannesburg, at the moment)

I don't know plasma internals, but when using Plasma data engines, isn't it possible to pick the city based on the timezone and location set in the system during installation?

Hi,
Is it possible to pick the default city based on the timezone defined in the system? I am in Australia/Sydney timezone and each time I add yawp plasmoid, I have to switch manually to Sydney.
A bit more localization (by default) would be great.

The not-so-good:
Does not work well with 4.3SVN (Qt4.5). When added to the panel, it does not take up maximum space available (which it does in 4.2.x.) Due to this, my system tray and the clock etc spread out and look ugly. What's more, as I open/close windows, the clock and system tray shrink which looks ugly.

I tried the first version and it was quite buggy and erratic with expansion of tasks. Also, it would take up very small space on the panel and my system tray looked huge!

Anyway, this version is good enough for me to replace KDE standard taskbar altogether.

Keep it up. This is a formidable alternative as a task manager.

Just wanted to suggest that when 'Expand tasks' is enabled, the current focussed window task should remain expanded!

Its so good that I've already replaced my standard task bar with Staks!

I am running KDE 4.3 (from openSUSE unstable repo's) and it works like a charm.

With a few improvements like Staks taking as much space as possible on the panel (like the standard taskbar), it will be a must-have app. Right now, my systray looks too big and so does the clock on the panel -- because Staks takes up too little space :-)

Nevertheless, a very fine effort indeed. The animation with colour with "Expand Tasks" option is very cool!! - Feb 23 2009

Hi,
You've said in the changelog that kxdocker is ready for composite but that its not stable yet. Does that mean that if I enable composite (although its unstable), kxdocker will use it accordingly?

Rather than pushing it up to occupy 85% of the desktop, how about pushing it up a comfortable height, say 1/10th of the screen and showing thumbnails of running apps with a slider or left/right arrows at each edge to see thumbnails that are not visible in the screen.

IMO, a similar concept can be used to switch desktops as well. A slider at that drops down from the top of the screen and then one can choose the desktop required (using its thumbnail) or slide left/right to show other desktops.
